One thing I'm quickly realizing as a teacher in Taiwan, lesson plans and schedules mean nothing here. Not a day goes by, that something doesn't get switched around or changed.
Take last week's field trip, Craig and I found out about it the night before, after work. Totally threw off my teaching schedule. Anyways, we get to the train station and I fully expect a guide to come out and show us around.
But no, my friends. I was the guide. They all said, "Miss Kristi, meet us downstairs at 10:30 (the wrong time, by the way), show the kids around."

Okay, I'll show these kids around a train station I've been in fewer than 10 times. It was ridiculous. I hat feeling unprepared and for this I was just walking around pointing at things. "This is a ticket machine, this is also a ticket machine, a trash can, another ticket machine." It was thrilling stuff, people. I wish you could have been there, I'm sure you would have been riveted.

The kids seemed to enjoy it, even though we didn't see even one train in person, just a few in old pictures.
